I was born in the small village of Ford, just outside Chippenham. I was educated at Castle Combe school. At the age of 9 stared in the original Dr Doolittle Film, with the rest of the school. I then went to Chippenham School.
I have always lived in Wiltshire accept when I was in the Royal Air Force, during that time I was stationed at Lyneham twice. 1980-1982 and 1989–1997.
I currently work for Network Rail as a Local Operations Manager, managing five signal boxes. I have worked on the railway since 1998. Starting as a Crossing Keeper at Minety, then a Signaller at Swindon to my present role within the company.

I am married to Joy and have two children Dave and Vicky from my previous marriage. Dave is a Signaller at Didcot, Vicky lives locally and has the last remaining horse that we bred.

I have many interests. I represented RAF Stations at Equestrian one day events. A founder member of the Lyneham Saddle club stables. I have bred, shown and ridden Welsh Cob Ponies under the Oakhatch prefix. I have bred, shown and rescued Great Danes. I now help my wife with a number of Golden Retrievers we currently have, but still retain a great Dane.
I am a keen Motorcyclist and travel through Europe with my Son. We are also very keen aircraft enthusiast. Travelling the Country primarily to see cold war jets.

I joined the Parish Council because a neighbour asked to, not realising the work involved in being a Parish Councillor and just how much there is to be done. I also didn’t realise the complexity of the regulations that govern a Council. In May 2014 I was asked by the other Councillors to be the Chairman. To be head of such an enthusiastic and dedicated team of Councillors is in itself an honour

I was born in Lyneham and have lived here ever since.I have 3 children and I am kept busy by running the family farm and farm shop.

I have always taken an interest in the Parish and like to see is prosper. During my lifetime I have witnessed many changes in the Parish; now that the RAF have left and a new MOD College opening more changes are on the way for the village. I joined the Parish Council in 2001 and wish to continue to play an active role in the future of Lyneham and Bradenstoke along with my family.

I have lived in Lyneham since 2006 and have been a Councillor for Lyneham and Bradenstoke since 2010. I joined the Council to make a difference by getting involved with maintenance work and projects. I am very good at turning my hand to most DIY and therefore can save the Council a lot of money.

I was born and raised in the village of Worton near Devizes and after leaving Market Lavington school I joined the Royal Navy in 1987, I am still serving and currently posted to MOD Corsham. I first lived in Lyneham from 2012 until 2015 then moved due to a posting to the Portsmouth area. I returned to Lyneham in 2016 when I married and now consider Lyneham my long term home.

I joined the Parish Council as I wanted to be a part of the community and contribute to the running of village making improvements where possible on behalf of all the parishioners.

I am an avid Swindon Town fan and have suffered their ups and downs for many years.

I was born in Bristol and lived there until I joined the RAF in 1985. I moved to Lyneham in 1986 with my first posting. After a spell in Germany and South Wales I moved back to Lyneham in 1998 and I have lived here ever since. I left the RAF in 2013 and now work as a Civilian instructor on the Airbus A400M based at RAF Brize Norton.

I am married and we have a grown up son. I decided to become a Parish Councillor as I wanted to be able to have a role in making the decisions that are made for the benefit of this village we all call home. I look forward to assisting where I can
to make it nicer for everyone.

My interests are mainly golf, cycling and watching the 6 Nations in the pub.

I’m from South Wales originally and spent 26 years in the RAF as an Aircraft Engineer first moving to Lyneham in 1988. When I left I set up my own Dog Grooming business here working from home thanks to the support of the people in the village. So now I have more time available I would like to get involved more with the community and give something back
